When you launch COD: Modern Warfare 3, You have three modes available: Special Ops, Campaign, and Multiplayer. It is recommended you start with the Campaign mode.
Choose "New Game" on the next screen.
Here you will select the difficulty level:
Recruit: For players who are new to first person action games
Regular: Your abilities in combat will be tested
Hardened: Your skills will be strained
Veteran: You will not survive
If this is absolutely the first time you have played a first person shooter, you should choose Recruit. But if you have even a little experience, we recommend playing on Regular difficulty, which is not very hard, yet on the same time provides some degree of challenge. If you follow this walkthrough you should make it alright. If it does end up being too hard, you can always lower the difficulty from the game menu.
Starting the campaign will give you your first trophy/achievement: Back in the Fight (Start the Single Player Campaign on any difficulty)
There will be a cutscene next.
The Russians are using electronic countermeasures to jam our comms and guidance systems. The primary emission tower is on top of the Stock Exchange. I need your team to destroy it. The Jammer is full spectrum. So until it's down, you will have no radio contact.
I have ground assets to get you close
Copy All, We'll get it done
